Better Data Visualizations

This book details essential strategies to create more effective data visualizations. In it, I walk you through the steps of creating better graphs and how to move beyond simple line, bar, and pie charts. Through more than five hundred examples, I demonstrate the do’s and don’ts of data visualization, the principles of visual perception, and how to make subjective style decisions around a chart’s design. This book will guide you as you define your audience and goals, choose the graph that best fits for your data, and clearly communicate your message.
